An unusual choice for Italian football, which surprised everyone.
Chivu has decided to cancel the final training session scheduled for today at Appiano Gentile.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the team will meet at Pinetina directly tomorrow morning, without a training camp, only for a brief muscle activation and technical meetings before leaving for San Siro.
The Nerazzurri coach has chosen to give his players a few hours of freedom because he saw them mentally fatigued. A move that also demonstrates his satisfaction with the attitude shown against Napoli in terms of application and personality, even though the result did not satisfy the critics.
While external comments spoke of a “missed opportunity” and highlighted yet another direct clash not won, the Inter coach prefers to set aside regrets and focus on performance and the standings.
Now, however, the league schedule could prove to be the real ally, more than the strategic rest granted to the team. From now until the beginning of February, the Nerazzurri will face in sequence Lecce, Udinese, Pisa, Cremonese and Sassuolo.
